This document is published using an extension for WordPress, called CommentPress, which allows electronic documents (such as this one) to be annotated by using WordPress’s inbuilt commenting system. CommentPress moves the comments from their traditional place at the bottom of each page, and gives them context by linking the directly to the relevant part of the body text. Each paragraph in the document can be commented upon independently from all the other paragraphs. There are some brief guidelines below, but if you would like further information about how to use and access the features of CommentPress then please visit this page How to read a CommentPress Document.

On the right-hand side of the page you can see tabs for Contents, Comments, and Activity. The contents tab will give you hyperlinks to each page in the whole document, organised into sections and pages. The comments tab shows all annotations/comments on any given page, clicking on a comment will take you to the relevant part of the text. Similarly if you click on the speech bubble to the right of any block (or unit) of text, you will be taken to the relevant place to make or read a comment. The activity tab shows comments/annotations throughout the whole document (as opposed to just on the current page). To read the document page-by-page then (starting with this page) use the Next Page arrow (near the top of the page) to progress through the document.

A research ‘position’ paper which defines and details the student’s chosen area of study (ca. 4000 words excluding references). The research paper should span at least two disciplines both in terms of the content and the literature considered. The research paper should conclude with identified research question(s).

Special topics is supposed to be the HighWire equivalent of Google’s 20% time. As such my area of concern for this module began very openly with: practices around citation in scholarly literature, issues to do with open/closed access to journals, and describing documents semantically via linked data. Over the lifespan of the module (January to April 2013) my interests have converged on specific areas, and then diverged again. This paper is the culmination of the four months of study. Additionally there is a series of reflective pieces on my blog.

Although I think most people will be totally fine without reading up on how to work with CommentPress (I think its quite intuitive), if you are uncertain I really recommend reading the How to read a CommentPress document page (linked at the bottom of this paragraph).

I really like the idea of more ‘living’ documents. For this specific text however, I think a paragraph about the possibilities and perspectives for this new kind of text – both in academia, popular media and elsewhere.

Hey Joe, interesting paper which summarises the failings (and uses) of traditional mentrix in classifying impact. I am assuming that the paper (by mentioning alternative forms of impact) attempts to draw out these altmethods by mentioning CoPs in academia. I miss a more comprehensive overview of emergent impact metrics although places like Mendeley are mentioned. while PhD students understand text well, there is a lack of images/illustrations/summary tables. rock on

this all seems to be more part of the literature analaysis and not yet of the discussion. putting the alt metrix definition, limitations and advantages much further would be useful to link it up more closely with the discussion on impact and to then focus on new metrix and CoP. also, I think your discussion on the definition of impact might be made shorter just by focusing on the main point that we need some way of “measuring impact” — one old one are the trad methods… bring them closer to the impact section. I start to repeat myself

I agree to your above comment as this paragraph appears to be a key statement for your paper and I would recommend to use it as an introduction to the discussion of new metrix in combination with the stuff on CoPs that you got earlier….

it might be worth to use the same thing here and use it at the beginning when talking about the h-index etc. you might have done that – beg you pardon if you did, since my memory is exhibiting holes on occasion
